I’m at the SMTP Server Installation step (Step 1: Create Database). When I enter the command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
it asks for a password. I entered my VPS server password and Maria DB comes up. Then, I cannot enter the commands that follow in your guide because the prompt to enter a command does not come up.
All the steps leading up to this step seemed to work with no issues.
Could you help me understand what I am doing wrong.
This is correct, if Maria DB opens, then you should add the commands inside it. Are there any screenshots? Did you try to add any command and got an error?
I cannot attach a screenshot because I am not allowed. I did enter commands in Maria DB and did get an error message:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your Maria DB server version for the right syntax to user near ‘DATABASE postal CHARSET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci’ at line 1
Looking back at my steps, this came up after I typed in this command:
utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
The first command (sudo mysql -u root -p) prompted to “Enter password:”.
After I typed my VPS server password, I entered the (utf8mb4_unicode_ci;) command.
